creepy stuff... by Stacey

“What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you will be.”

Creepy stuff. Although I kept thinking as I walked through it that it reminded me of a Disney Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and I kept expecting the skulls on the walls to break into pirate songs. Disney would definitely have fun with the place.

capuchin crypt by alykat

The Cemetery of the Capuchins is incredible — and incredibly creepy. Its four chambers feature amazingly detailed artwork made from the bones — skulls, femurs, pelvises, etc. — of dead Capuchin monks. In one crypt hangs the sign: “What you are now, I once was. What I am now, you will be.” It’s definitely something worth seeing.
